met with varying fortune-now good, now
ill-but in the latter half they encountered
almost unbroken success, and came to be

How these armies were welded, how
Unanswered, how fought, has been well
told by those highest in command-Grant,
Sherman, Mcclellan How corps, division,
brigade and regiment were hurled against
q powerful and valiant foe, at one time
breaking his lines, striking him down and
giving defeat; at another receiving severe
misunderstanding back, reelng, bleed
ing and beaten-all this, together with the
thousand and one incidents of battle field,
has been related by Howard, Humphrey,
Pope, Doubleday, Cox, Fitzpatrick, and
many other officers of prominence and dis

But of the private soldier, the unit, the

terribly in earnest that putting down the
rebellion was no child's play, and that for
its accomplishment there would be needed

4, 1861, and in his message to that body
President Lincoln recommended that four

THEIR OCCUPATION GONE.
Wssherwomen Suffer Because Of the In.
crease of Steam Laundries.

Gradually step by step the washerwoman
has found her occupation gone. The increase
Of steam laundries has driven her TO other
means Of livelihood and where she once lived
ia opulence on the proceeds Of clothes washed
at the rate of $50 and a. per dozen she now
works by the day or does homework. John
| Chinaman also has had much TO do with this
worthy's downfall, but his prices are far in
excess Of either steam laundres or old fash
| toned washerwoman During the past few
years many improvements have beer made
in laundry apparatus. A greater part OF the
city Of Troy is given up TO manufacturing
concerns which turn out annually hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars worth Of engines,
whizzers, starchers and other machinery used
in rapid washing Of dirty linen.
In Brooklyn to-day there are no less than
800 steam laundries as against three four
years ago. Many Brooklynites few years
ago thought that 10 obtain clean collars and
cuffs it was necessary 10 send them to Troy
by express each week a number Of firms
made small fortunes catering 10 the whims OF
these capriciouS gentlemen, and although 1t
was claimed that laundry was sent up the
river weekly, by some IL was thought 70 be

steam laundry is productive Of interest Each
customer has a private mark, and although
the clothes Of n hundred customers are thrown
into vat and boiled, they are when starched
and dried sorted out in separate and correct
piles.
BroOklynites were az first inclined 20 look
upon steam laundries with suspicion. They
contendcd, and with good deal Of truth,
that IN passing through the machinery the
collars and cuffs become worn and frayed.
Acids, too, were sometimes used, and these
had a tendency 10 cat tie linen. The ma
chinery used at first was crude. Button holes
were frequently torn out, while occasionally
a collar would emerge from the process de-
void u It's outside linen. One Of the most in-
terestng pieces Of machinery % be seen in
steam laundry is the whizzar. This machine
which dries the clothes, makes 1000 revoiu-
tions a minute, and is similar 20 the sugar re-
finer In its method Of operation. The only
band work done is performed IN the starchng
room Here women are employed, each be-
ing seated behind bowl Of starch into which
they dip the collars and cuffs. In the sorting
room young men quick Of sight and possess
ing excellent memories, are employed. The
average health Of those employed IN the hot
rooms Of steam laundry is good. While
their wages are not very high the women are

1t will be noticed that in the ship Of the
line there is a decided tendency toward sim
plifcation Of corlage and an approach tow
ard the beautiful lines Of the modern sailing
vessel. For say what you will the band
soonest craft that sails the seas over is the full
rugged ship But the full rugged sailing ship
is a rarity in these days Of steam and iron
plates, and what few ships We moderns have
are not built on the scale Of the old war ships
Of the Eighteenth century.
In this brief sketch no attention has been
paid to the development Of sailing vessels in
the orient. The evolution Of navigation
there was quite different from that Of the
western world and far more picturesque; but
it reached its climax much earlier, and the
sailors Of that part Of the world are still
using vessels Of the same pattern as did their
forefathers centuries ago.
